International law holds that reparations must be paid for serious
violations of human rights and humanitarian law, yet doing so in
situations where there are thousands of victims and scarce resources can
be challenging even for well-intentioned governments. Reparations programs
in Peru and Guatemala raise new possibilities, problems and dilemmas in
the wake of large scale rights violations.
Naomi Roht-Arriaza is Professor of Law at UC Hastings. She is the author
of The Pinochet Effect: Transnational Justice in the Age of Human Rights
along with other books and articles on transitional justice, universal
jurisdiction and reparations.
